Calcium bounty: 5 rich foods for strong bones

LET'S START

Calcium

Consuming calcium-rich meals is important for your health. Calcium regulates hormones, blood pressure, and muscle and nerve function. Your body works hard to maintain blood calcium levels for cell communication.

Dairy

Calcium-rich dairy foods include milk, yoghurt, and cheese. Protein and vitamin D are needed for bone health.

Leafy Greens

Kale, collard greens, and spinach are calcium-rich plant-based foods. They are rich in vitamin K, which mineralizes bones.
